Download or read book My Old Dog written by Laura T. Coffey and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “No Dog Should Die Alone” was the attention-grabbing — and heart-stirring — headline of journalist Laura T. Coffey’s TODAY show website story about photographer Lori Fusaro’s work with senior shelter pets. While generally calm, easy, and already house-trained, these animals often represent the highest-risk population at shelters. With gorgeous, joyful photographs and sweet, funny, true tales of “old dogs learning new tricks,” Coffey and Fusaro show that adopting a senior can be even more rewarding than choosing a younger dog. You’ll meet endearing elders like Marnie, the irresistible shih tzu who has posed for selfies with Tina Fey, James Franco, and Betty White; Remy, a soulful nine-year-old dog adopted by elderly nuns; George Clooney’s cocker spaniel, Einstein; and Bretagne, the last known surviving search dog from Ground Zero. They may be slower moving and a tad less exuberant than puppies, but these pooches prove that adopting a senior brings immeasurable joy, earnest devotion, and unconditional love.

Book excerpt: In what promises to become an "Omnivore's Dilemma" for dog lovers—breed devotees and adoption advocates alike—The Dog Merchants is the first book to explain the complex and often surprisingly similar business practices that extend from the American Kennel Club to local shelters, from Westminster champions to dog auctions.Without judging dog lovers of any stripe, The Dog Merchants makes it clear that money spent among these dog merchants has real-world effects on people and canines. Kavin reveals how dog merchants create markets for dogs, often in defiance of the usual rules of supply and demand. She takes an investigative approach and meets breeders and rescuers at all levels, shedding much-needed light on an industry that most people don't even realize is an industry.Kavin’s goal is to advance the conversation about how all dogs are treated, from puppy mills to high-kill shelters. She shows that a great deal can be improved by understanding the business practices behind selling dogs of all kinds. Instead of pitting rescue and purebred people against each other, The Dog Merchants shows how all dog lovers can come together, with one voice as consumers, on behalf of all our beloved companions.

Book excerpt: When David Rosenfelt first met his wife, Debbie, he also met her golden retriever, Tara... and he fell head over heels for both of them. Many years later, inspired by Tara, David and Debbie have dedicated their lives to rescuing thousands of unloved and unwanted dogs - sometimes living with up to 40 dogs at any one time. So here is the book dedicated to the inspirational canine who started it all, and taught David everything he knows. (Well, he did know how to tie his shoes before he met and came to love Tara, but that's about it.) Through Tara, David learned about dating, about being able to share his emotions, and also about everyday stuff like who gets to use the pillow if several dogs are sleeping in your bed (clue: It's not the human) and why random barking will never be something that can be eliminated. Lessons From Tara is infused with David's wry and self-deprecating sense of humor, and will move readers to tears and laughter.

As he pretends to be lost, he gets a 'scruffy' mismatched kid named, Abby, to take him in. It is love at first sight, as they find common ground in being...scruffy, but there is a much deeper plan. Kiddo, kicks into gear his gift of telepathically sending messages to all the dogs in the neighborhood who are lost and confused, sad and abused, who need to be rescued. Before long, Abby has no idea why she has an eclectic group of dogs under her charge, including Zeus, the benevolent Great Pyrenees. She naturally falls in line and begins to find them homes, thus simultaneously fulfilling Kiddo's secret 'Master Plan," in training a human to find them 'Masters." Abby, often bullied by the neighbor kids, attracts the attention of Luke, the coolest kid in the neighborhood.

The reader is brought into two parallel worlds as both human and canine deal with life challenges. They learn they are not that different after all.

Download or read book The Dog Rescuers Book II written by Joni Wilson and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The much anticipated, book two of "The Dog Rescuers" series ushers in more dogs needing to be rescued like Romeo, the trash addicted bulldog and Chanel, the misplaced trapeze artist with a French accent. We also meet an existentialist cat, much to the annoyance of Kiddo, that saunters in on his action, forcing Kiddo to deal with his own long, dark history of hating cats. Thus, the title "Purrfectly Unleashed." The, "Master Plan" is sidetracked when a trip to Hollywood brings the pack face to face with a night in a dog shelter. After a brave escape, they make it back smack dab in the middle of America, where it's no surprise that more dogs answer Kiddo's call and show up in Abby's yard to be rescued. Time to get back on track and keep Abby and Luke focused on the "Master Plan," which is to ultimately find homes for all the dogs lost and confused, sad and abused, so they can get rescued, through the "Plan B- Mode of Operation." In the meantime, so much good is happening around the colliding of the two worlds of man and beast as they discover their hidden talents, and that anything is possible with the love of a great dog. The reader is brought into two parallel worlds as both human and canine deal with life challenges. They learn they are not that different after all. In the end, we ask, are the humans really doing the rescuing or does this secret world of doggie communication, expose that all along it was a ruse to rescue humans.
